Abstract of Proposed Collection 

Under 22 United States Code (U.S.C.) 

Section 211a et seq. and Executive 

Order 11295 (August 5, 1966), the 

Secretary of State has authority to issue 

U.S. passports to U.S. citizens and noncitizen nationals. When the bearer of a 

valid U.S. passport applies for a new 

passport book and/or passport card with 

corrected personal data or when the 

bearer of a limited validity passport 

applies for a fully-valid replacement 

passport, the Department must confirm 

the applicant’s identity and eligibility to 

receive passport services before the 

Department can issue the corrected or 

replacement passport to the applicant. 

Form DS–5504 requests information that 

is necessary to determine whether the 

applicant is eligible to receive this 

service in accordance with the 

requirements of Title III of the 

Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) 

(U.S.C. sections 1402–1504), the 

regulations at 22 CFR parts 50 and 51, 

and other applicable treaties and laws. 

Methodology 

Passport Services collects information 

from U.S. citizens and non-citizen 

nationals when they complete and 

submit the Application for a U.S. 

Passport: Name Change, Data 

Correction, And Limited Passport Book 

Replacement. Passport applicants can 

either download the DS–5504 from the 

Internet or obtain one from an 

Acceptance Facility/Passport Agency. 

The form must be completed, signed, 

and submitted along with the 

applicant’s valid U.S. passport and 

supporting documents for corrective 

action. 

Additional Information 

In addition to general format changes, 

the following content changes have been 

made to the form: 

• Page 3 Instructions—At the bottom 

of the page, a new section was added 

with the heading: 

‘‘Special Notice to U.S. Passport Card 

Applicants Only’’. 

The section text follows: 

‘‘The maximum number of letters 

provided for your given name (first and 

middle) on the U.S. passport card is 24 

characters. The 24 characters may be 

shortened due to printing restrictions. If 

both your given names are more than 24 

characters, you must shorten one of 

your given names you list on item 1 of 

this form’’. 

• Page 1 Form—In the photograph 

box, the words ‘‘Submit a recent color 

photograph’’ have been replaced with 

‘‘Attach a color photograph taken within 

the last six months’’. 

• Page 1 Form—In the first signature 

block, ‘‘Applicant’s Signature—age 16 

and older’’, the word ‘‘Legal’’ has been 

added before ‘‘Signature’’. 

• Page 1 Form—The second signature 

block ‘‘Parent’s/Legal Guardian’s 

Signature’’ has been revised to now read 

‘‘Mother/Father/Parent/Legal Guardian’s 

Signature (if identifying minor)’’. 

• Page 2 Form—Line Item 19, Travel 

Plans: The words ‘‘Date of Trip’’ have 

been replaced with ‘‘Departure Date’’, 

and the words ‘‘Duration of Trip’’ have 

been replaced with ‘‘Return Date’’. 

• Page 2 Form—Under the Yes and 

No blocks in the last section, the 

statement: 

‘‘If yes, please submit evidence of 

your United States citizenship and/or 

evidence of your identity.’’ has been 

replaced by: ‘‘If yes, please submit 

evidence of your United States 

citizenship (such as a government birth 

certificate) and/or evidence of your 

identity (such as a driver’s license or a 

state issued identification (ID) card).’’ 

The Department estimates that these 

changes will not result in an increase in 

the current burden time of 30 minutes.

U.S. Department of State Advisory 

Committee on Private International 

Law (ACPIL)—Online Dispute 

Resolution (ODR) Study Group 

The Office of the Assistant Legal 

Adviser for Private International Law, 

Department of State, hereby gives notice 

that the ACPIL ODR Study Group will 

hold a public meeting. The ACPIL ODR 

Study Group will meet to discuss the 

next session of the UNCITRAL ODR 

Working Group, scheduled for May 20– 

24 in New York. This is not a meeting 

of the full Advisory Committee. 

The UNCITRAL ODR Working Group 

is charged with the development of legal 

instruments for resolving both business 

to business and business to consumer 

cross-border electronic commerce 

disputes. The Working Group is in the 

process of developing generic ODR 

procedural rules for resolution of crossborder electronic commerce disputes, 

along with separate legal instruments 

that may take the form of annexes on 

guidelines and minimum requirements 

for online dispute resolution providers 

and arbitrators, substantive legal 

principles for resolving disputes, and a 

cross-border enforcement mechanism. 

One of the key issues that the working 

group is addressing is the identification 

of security issues relating to use of the 

ODR Rules, including measures to 

address the risk of fraud involving 

consumers who participate. 

For the reports of the first five 

sessions of the UNCITRAL ODR 

Working Group—December 13–17, 

2010, in Vienna (A/CN.9/716); May 23– 

27, 2011, in New York (A/CN.9/721);
